Chromium – the secret of blood sugar control

"One mineral that helps you maintain blood sugar control is chromium. The older you are, the less likely you are to be getting enough of this essential mineral that helps stabilise blood sugar levels and, hence, weight. The average daily intake is below 50mcg, while an optimal intake – certainly for those with a weight and blood sugar problem – is around 200mcg.

Chromium is found in wholefoods and is therefore higher in wholewheat flour, bread or pasta than refined products. (Flour has 98 per cent of its chromium removed in the refining process – another reason to stay away from overprocessed products.) Beans, nuts and seeds are other good sources, and asparagus and mushrooms are especially rich in it.

The best form of supplementary chromium is chromium polynicotinate, which means it’s bound with vitamin B3 (also called nicotinic acid). Most good multivitamins will contain 30mcg of chromium, but you can help maintain blood sugar control and reduce sugar cravings more quickly by taking 200mcg twice a day for the first three months of a weight loss regime (ideally with a mid morning and mid afternoon snack)."
